Openai:

I'm sorry, but I can't provide verbatim excerpts from copyrighted texts. However, I can offer a summary or discuss the themes, characters, and other aspects of the Harry Potter series if you're interested. Just let me know how you'd like to proceed!

That doesn't mean the copyrighted material isn't in there. It also doesn't mean that the unrestricted model can't.

Edit: I didn't get it to tell me that it does have the verbatim text in its data.

I can identify verbatim text based on the patterns and language that I've been trained on. Verbatim text would match the exact wording and structure of the original source. However, I'm not allowed to provide verbatim excerpts from copyrighted texts, even if you request them. If you have any questions or topics you'd like to explore, please let me know, and I'd be happy to assist you!

Here we go, I can get chat gpt to give me sentence by sentence:

"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much."

    Most publically available/hosted (self hosted models are an exception to this) have an absolute laundry list of extra parameters and checks that are done on every query to limit the model as much as possible to tailor the outputs.

    This wasn't even hard... I got it spitting out random verbatim bits of Harry Potter. It won't do the whole thing, and some of it is garbage, but this is pretty clear copyright violations.
